Karamba Security

Karamba Security is an Israeli cybersecurity company focused on protecting embedded computing systems and connected devices, with a particular emphasis on automotive cybersecurity. The company was founded in 2016 by David Barzilai and Ami Dotan. It is headquartered in Israel, with a presence in the United States as well.

Karamba Security develops security products for vehicle ECUs (Electronic Control Units), protecting the in-vehicle software stack against cyberattacks in real time. Its technology targets automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, and focuses on securing vehicles both at production and throughout their operational lifetime. The company's approach is based on hardening embedded systems — enforcing security policies at the code level running on the ECU itself, without requiring source-code changes from customers.

The company's primary products include Carwall, which provides ECU-level protection at the in-vehicle network layer, and ThreatHive, a threat-detection and intelligence-gathering platform for vehicles in the field. Karamba also offers a TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment) solution to support compliance with UNECE WP.29 and ISO/SAE 21434, which became mandatory regulatory requirements for global automotive manufacturers.

Karamba Security operates in the automotive cybersecurity market alongside competitors including Upstream Security (also Israeli), Argus Cyber Security (acquired by Continental), and GuardKnox. Demand in this space grew substantially following the entry into force of UNECE WP.29 regulations in 2022, which required automakers operating in certain markets to implement cybersecurity controls across the vehicle lifecycle.

Karamba Security's core technology development is concentrated in Israel. Detailed public information about exact Israel headcount, precise office location, and the most recent funding rounds is not available for confident verification.
